Unleash the Excitement: Meet the 2025 Kia K5 at Dyer Kia Lake Wales

What Is Kia America's President's Club? Kia America's President's Club is one of the most exclusive honors a Kia dealership can receive. Each year, Kia selects only 50 dealers, out of nearly 800 nationwide, who have demonstrated the highest levels of sales performance and customer satisfaction. Being named to the President's Club means a dealership doesn't just sell Kia vehicles; it delivers an exceptional ownership experience from the first handshake to long after the keys are handed over. In 2025, Dyer Kia earned that distinction for the very first time. What Does It Mean to Be a Kia President's Club Dealer? When you're shopping for a new vehicle, you want more than a good deal. You want a dealership that actually cares about your experience. The Kia President's Club was created precisely to identify and celebrate dealers who go above and beyond for their customers. To qualify, a dealership must rank among the top performers in the entire Kia network on two critical measures: Sales performance — consistently moving inventory and meeting customer demand Customer satisfaction — earning high marks from real buyers, not just on paper Out of nearly 800 Kia retailers across the United States, only 50 made the cut in 2025. Dyer Kia is one of them. A First for Dyer Kia and a Big Deal for Lake Wales This is the first time Dyer Kia has been named to the President's Club, and that milestone means something. It's a reflection of the team William Dyer has built. Sales professionals who listen, service advisors who follow through, and a culture that puts the customer first every single time. Seungkyu (Sean) Yoon, President and CEO of Kia North America and Kia America, said it best: "2025 marked significant milestones in the continued growth of the Kia brand in the United States, and on behalf of the Kia family, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to William Dyer and the staff at Dyer Kia for their unwavering dedication to exemplary sales performance and outstanding customer satisfaction." For a community like Lake Wales, having a President's Club-level dealership nearby is genuinely valuable. You don't have to drive to a big city to get big-dealership quality, it's right here in Polk County. Why Kia's Momentum Makes This Even More Meaningful Dyer Kia earned this honor during one of the most impressive stretches in Kia's history. In 2025, Kia America recorded its eighth consecutive year of retail sales growth in the U.S. and reached its highest-ever U.S. market share. That means Kia isn't just holding steady; it's accelerating. Consumer demand for Kia's lineup has never been stronger, and it's easy to see why. From the sporty Kia Sportage and family-friendly Telluride to the all-electric EV6 and EV9, Kia offers vehicles that genuinely fit modern life. And the brand isn't standing still, the all-new 2027 Kia Telluride is already generating buzz, featuring: Its first-ever available hybrid powertrain Expanded X-Pro off-road capability A bold redesign that takes Kia's flagship three-row SUV to the next level When you buy from a President's Club dealer like Dyer Kia, you're getting access to the full strength of that lineup, backed by a team that has earned national recognition for how they treat their customers. Is Kia a Good Brand to Buy From? If you've been wondering whether Kia is a reliable choice, the data speaks clearly. Kia consistently ranks well in: Initial quality studies — fewer problems reported in the first 90 days of ownership Long-term reliability — modern Kia vehicles are built to last well beyond 100,000 miles Value retention — Kia models hold their value competitively in the used car market Safety ratings — multiple Kia models earn IIHS and NHTSA recognition year after year Combine that with Kia's industry-leading 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, still one of the best in the business and you have a brand that backs its vehicles with confidence. Giving Back: Kia's "Accelerate the Good" Program President's Club recognition isn't just about selling cars. It also reflects a dealership's connection to its community. Kia America's "Accelerate the Good" Dealer Match Program contributed more than $4.7 million to non-profits nationwide in 2025, supporting causes ranging from childhood cancer research to hunger relief, homelessness assistance, natural disaster recovery, and environmental initiatives. Dyer Kia is proud to be part of a brand that uses its platform to make a real difference in people's lives, both locally in the Lake Wales area and across the country. What Should I Look for When Choosing a Kia Dealer? Not all dealerships are the same, and that's exactly why awards like the President's Club exist. When choosing where to buy your next vehicle, here's what to look for: Transparency in pricing. A trustworthy dealership shows you what you're paying and why, no surprise fees at the last minute. Responsive communication. Whether you reach out by phone, email, or online chat, a good dealer gets back to you quickly and answers your questions honestly. Knowledgeable staff. The best sales teams understand the vehicles they sell inside and out, they help you find the right fit, not just push inventory. Strong service department. Buying a car is a long-term relationship. A dealer with a capable, honest service team is worth its weight in gold over the life of your vehicle. National recognition. When Kia America singles out a dealership from its entire network as one of the top 50 in the country, that's a signal worth paying attention to. Dyer Kia checks every one of those boxes.
